Does anyone use the receiver on the ipod (nikeplus) that keeps track of miles, time, calories? It isn't 100% accurate, but it a big motivator. Using it, and seeing my mileage makes me want to run longer and faster.

Anyone for a run? Any distance any pace (as long as it's not faster than mine). In Cleveland area very close to great trails. See you in a few miles!

From years of semi-pro motorcycle racing, fighting chafing on the thighs and butt as well as severely irritated nipples was a constant battle. Sweating your ass off and sliding around on a motorcycle seat during a 100 mile race is a great way to make your look just like the baboons at the zoo, not to mention what a ventilated nylon jersey does to nipples during a race that long!

The solution we came up with years ago for monkey butt was to wear a pair of those super stretchy spandex bike shorts under our riding leathers. Compression type shorts like these fit like a second skin and don't move around on you, so they present a very effective barrier against chafing from whatever you wear over them, like baggy running shorts, for example.

Nipples was always a harder thing to deal with, especially if you're like me, with a hairy chest. I used to resort to shaving a bare patch around my nipples and use a band aid, sometimes covered by duct tape, if the weather was really hot and I was expecting to sweat a lot. A warm shower with lots of soap made the tape come off pretty easily at the end of the day.

Hello, have been running 5K since 1984 and an occasional 10k since 98. No marathons as of yet nor half ones either. I have done 5K cross country runs at nudist resorts all over Texas in the annual nude run series they hold. Its fun.

Prostate surgery last year kind of knocked my feel out from under me for a while, but I am back to 3 miles daily. Yesterday my time was 26:42. That's good for me. I am 52, weigh 166 and am very very happy to have found this forum.

My two cents on the chaffing issue: best bet is band aids on the nipples. Just don't let the puppies out and they won't chafe. Best thing for my leg chaffing on shorter distances is baby powder. If things are dry, they don't tend to create as much friction. Won't help for marathons, as you can't stay dry that long. For my marathons, I had to train and run with excellent light/loose running shorts and Vaseline on the legs. Never thought about using a lube, but will try it next race.

I've been training for a 1/2 marathon. I'm not fast - hope to average under 10:30 min miles. I was having trouble with chaffing and friends recommended Glide or Bag Balm. Bag Balm was much cheaper, so tried it. So far so good. I don't know how it works on the nipples, but for inner thighs it works well. My father uses regular vasiline when he runs but I found that stained the clothing. Bag Balm hasn't. Although I haven't tried it, I know many die hard runners who use Glide.

Poly,

Since you mentioned it... How about that old stripper trick? A real bandaid.

(I used to work in a strip club in a state where the girls couldn't even show nipples... So they ripped the ends off of a bandaid and covered their nips with those.)
